Question for you northern guys attending the event-Is rock salt in large bags readily accessible/available up north? I can only buy it here in small 4lb. boxes, thought they might sell it in bulk cheap up there for melting driveways and such.

Let me ask my buddy that sells salt what he has.

For the ice cream maker?

Yes. I'm bringing two machines and depending on what we make, will need anywhere from 4 to 8 lbs of salt per gallon of ice cream. If a bunch of people bring machines, it would be better just to bring a bulk bag of salt...

I'm not familiar with the type of salt used as water softener. Very coarse rock salt is best for ice cream machines because the larger size stays mixed with the ice and does not fall to the bottom, but any salt will work to make ice cream...just coarse is best.
